Find an explicit formula for the sequence 30\,,\,150\,,\,750\,,\,3750,...30,150,750,3750,...30, space, comma, space, 150, space,

The series shown is an geometric series and the explicit formula is given by:
an=ar^(n-1)
where
a=first term
n=number of terms
r=common ratio
from the sequence:
a=30
r=5
thus the explicit formula will be:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
hence the answer is:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
Answer:
second option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 6x² + 5 = 0
let u = x², then
u² + 6u + 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(u + 1)(u + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for u
u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1
u + 5 = 0 ⇒ u = - 5
Change u back into terms of x, that is
x² = - 1 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± = ± i ( noting that = i ), and
x² = - 5 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± = ± = ± × = ± i
Solutions are x = ± i and x = ± i
1. 6 is the answer
2. 56 is divisible by 14
1,250 is more then 1.25 because it’s a greater number
